Puttputt boats-the ideal toy for young and old alike.

"The Puttputt or Pop pop boat was first patented in 1891 and has been entertaining both children and adults since then"

The puttputt boat is powered by an amazing steam powered pulse jet motor.A very old simple principle uses a single boiler with two exhaust tubes out the back under the water line. Water in the boiler is heated using a small cooking oil burner. The steam pressure created forces water out the tubes and the boat goes forward.At this point, with no water left in the boiler, and a drop in pressure more water is sucked back in and the process repeats.
